- Kat Hernandez: Tequila makes me aggressive.
- Jules Vaughn: Ugh. Tequila makes me want to dance.
- Rue Bennett: I, uh, I once took, like, ten Vicodin and drank an entire thing of tequila, and then, I, like, blacked out for three days, but while I was blacked out, I, like, still went to school and did homework and shit. It was really weird.
- Kat Hernandez: Well, let's not do that tonight.
- Rue Bennett: Uh, I won't. I'm... I'm clean, so we're good.
- Rue Bennett: Jules, what are you doing?
- Jules Vaughn: Although I joy in thee, I have no joy in this contract tonight.
- Rue Bennett: What are you talking about? I don't know what that means.
- Jules Vaughn: It's too rash. Too unadvised. Too sudden. Too like the light in which thou doth cease to breathe.
- Rue Bennett: Jules, you're drunk, okay? And you sound like an idiot. Can you please get out of the pool?
- Rue Bennett: [to Troy] Now let me just be real straight with you. You ever been to rehab, Roy?
- Troy: No, I'm Troy. I'm...
- Rue Bennett: Roy, Troy. I don't give a fuck. I said have you ever been to rehab?
- Troy: No.
- Rue Bennett: Well, in rehab, there are some real fucked-up motherfuckers. We're talking people who are on the hook for armed robbery, attempted murder, real fucked-up shit. Hardcore motherfuckers.
- Lexi Howard: It's true. I went once. It was scary.
- Rue Bennett: You know what happens when you spend an extended amount of time in rehab? You tend to make friends with those hardcore motherfuckers. So let me be very clear with you. If you so much as go past first base with my little sister or try to get her high again, I will call Omar, I will call Marlo. I will call Avon, I will call Brother Mouzone, I will call fuckin' Bodie, and I will call fucking Stringer. And I will have these motherfuckers standing outside of your front lawn. Do you hear me?
- Lexi Howard: Or even Wee-bey.
- Rue Bennett: A hundred percent. Do you know what kind of people these are? These are the kind of people who will strip you fucking naked and go to work on you with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch. Do you hear me?
- Lexi Howard: Rue, I think he understands.
- Rue Bennett: I don't think he understands.
- Lexi Howard: [to Troy] Tell her you understand.
- Troy: I understand.
- Kat Hernandez: Ethan, if you want me to suck your dick or fuck you, just say it, but stop acting like we'll be boyfriend and girlfriend because the chances of that happening are like, literally zero.
- Frederick McKay: [to McKay] You get emotional, you lose. You get angry, you lose.
- Chris McKay: Dad, he called me...
- Frederick McKay: I don't give a good goddamn. Why do you think he's talking to you in the first place?
- Chris McKay: Because he...
- Frederick McKay: Because he's trying to get a rise out of you. Trying to make you upset, lose focus. That's his game. That's the world's game. They want to push on you, poke on you, see exactly how much you can take. And how much you can take is what will ultimately define you. Because the measure of a man is in how he reacts.
- Chris McKay: How am I supposed to react?
- Frederick McKay: By taking everything you feel, all your frustrations, your anger, your rage, you bottle it up, you take your position and when that snap comes, you let it explode.
